Let's talk settings! Here are some of my findings:

I ran the following last night:

Novak 10.5, 12 timing (default for 10.5), 4.8 FDR, hybrid mode = 170 degrees. Pretty good performance but slower on the straight-away then a lot of guys.

Novak 10.5, 12 timing (default for 10.5), 4.8 FDR, sensored only mode = 195 degrees. Performance seemed about the same but I faded big time towards the end of the race which is to be expected at that temp.

Another guy I race with runs the following which I will try my next race

Novak 10.5, 0 timing, 4.9 FDR, sensored only mode = 155 degrees and he has a lot more speed then me.

The weird thing is that my motor was 25 degrees hotter in sensored only more. The other guy is 40 degrees cooler then me in sensored only vs my temp in sensored only mode. The only differences being he is running pro and Im not, Im running 12 timing and he is running 0 and he is running 4.7 FDR vs my 4.8 (which you would think the 4.7 would be hotter). Obviously difference driving styles plays a role too but 40 degrees seems like a lot.
